  1. Tiandra, I thank you once more for posting one of my old photos. So pleased that you appreciate my old photos.
    I have a lot of enthusiasm for photography and indeed
    for many creative or artistic pursuits. Have made enquiries regarding the make and model of this vintage car, here. Will advise once I have news to share. All the Best from Ottawa!

  2. Thank you Mikey…. your lots of fun… don’t get run over trying to get the type and year of the car… big smile… all the best to you in Ottawa… big hug… tiandra…

  3. You cra-ck me up Tiandra! I blame it all on my youthful enthusiasm! Thanks dear. I’ll try not to. It turns out that
    the vintage black car stopped at the red light by The Empress
    Hotel in Victoria, B.C. . . . was a 1939 Plymouth.

    I had posted it to the Flickr group: “Guess The Car…” Within hours I had the answer with the help of fellow Flickr-ites: MR38 and Granttt73 and Frank Lavigne. Those guys know their Vintage Cars!

    Thank You- So Much . . . Tiandra! You are very kind!
    Best to You and Yours, All!
